A Message From The Future...
Whose hand will they hold?
Technology is a tool. It’s a lens through which we can show that world of infinite possibilities to
our children — through which they can examine, explore, and affect their world. If we continue to look at technology as a machine and education as a process that we can plug our children into in order to improve reading and math test scores, then whose shoulder are they going to rest their heads on? Whose hand are they going to hold as the walk into their future? 2 Cents Worth
What am I talking about?
Science and technology can make the future better for our students.
Students will still have shoulders to rest on and hands to hold.
